Thing is I am finding it really hard to get to the antenna, as it is behind the inside of the boot lining. Is there an easier way of getting to it.

Thanks for your help.

Brendon.

I think its powered off the acessories line, and there is no fuse. Disconnect the trigger off from the back of the head unit, or from the back of the antenna motor itself.

Sounds more like the white nylon thingy that extends and retracks the antenna is broken. Mine went a while ago and you're right the motor for the antenna is a mongrel to get to. I think that you could probaly replace the nylon thing but I haven't woprked out how to do so yet, maybe someone else could help out? I ended up disconnecting the motor until I can fix or replace it.

once you get to the motor pull the whole thing out and pull it apart. you will see the broken cable in there- remove it. and put the motor back together and put it back in place. LEAVE THE TOP SCREW OFF!

from there its a case of turning on the radio and letting the motor go all the way up. then feeding the antenna cable back into the motor and turning off the radio. should reload easily. from there screw the top nut on and you are done.

I think the antenna mast is the same as a magna one so a trip to the local shop ( or me if you want to mail order one) will do the trick.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
